Research Overview
Basic research on functional food, food rheology and food
safety are conducted in the Food and Biomaterial Science Lab.
The goal of our lab is to produce well-educated professionals
who will work in the food industry and related fields, and
contribute to the development of agriculture and life sciences
both at the national and global levels.
Ongoing Projects

anti-inflammatory activities using acute, sub-acute and chronic
animal model
2) Effects of Puerh and oriental herb extracts on alcohol
metabolism, urinary 5-HTOL and antioxidant systems.
3) Free radical generation suppressive activities of the extracts
from edible plants in RAW264.7 cells and HL-60 cells
4) Effects of phyto-estrogen and agricultural products on
the accumulation of oxidized protein induced by oxidative
stress
